About Henry Nelson Carroll
- Henry Nelson Carroll (born December 21, 1937 in St.
- Boniface, Manitoba) was a lawyer and politician in Manitoba, Canada.
- He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1981 to 1986, initially as a New Democrat but subsequently as an independent. Carroll was educated at the University of Manitoba, and practiced as a lawyer after being called to the bar in 1964.
- He first ran for the provincial legislature in the election of 1973 as a New Democrat, finishing second to Progressive Conservative Edward McGill in Brandon West.
- He ran for the seat again in the provincial election of 1977, with the same result. McGill did not seek re-election in the provincial election of 1981, and Carroll was able to take the seat on his third try, defeating Tory candidate John Allen by about 400 votes.
- The NDP under Howard Pawley won a majority government in this election, and Carroll entered the legislature as a government backbencher. Soon after, he announced his decision to leave the NDP (on August 19, 1982) and subsequently opposed the Pawley government's intentions to re-entrench French language services in provincial law.
- He did not seek re-election in 1986. In the federal election of 1988, Carroll ran as a candidate of the Reform Party in the riding of Brandon—Souris.
- He finished in fourth place, well behind victorious Progressive Conservative candidate Lee Clark.
- He has not attempted to re-enter provincial or federal politics since then. Carroll was disbarred as a lawyer in Brandon in 2008.
